.......What is going on right NOW is the worst possible situation where the golf carts are NOT ALL going at the SAME average speed. So, its chaos to both the bicycle rider and the pedestrian. A bicycle is light and can DODGE out of the way of an accident - whereas a golf cart can NOT BECAUSE IT IS TOO heavy AND HAS TOO HIGH OF A CENTER OF GRAVITY. That's why all golf carts should drive under 20 MPH. Another reason is that Golf Carts are heavy and have a high center of gravity (gas ones do) so they do NOT stop well and their brakes are made for golf course braking, not on streets.

LMAO how many elderly e-bike riders going 20+ mph do you really think have the dexterity and ability to maneuver and dodge anything to avoid an accident? Certainly not my neighbor who has been laid up for a week after crashing an e-bike just riding it normally.
